Probably has more to do with CAFE standards than buyer's preference.

For the last decade, auto makers have connected with baby boomers by
recreating storied cars from their youth like the VW Beetle, Chevrolet
Camaro and Dodge Challenger.

Now, Ford Motor Co. is betting it is time to hit the brakes on the retro
trend, and shift its focus to a younger generation.

The Mustang, the Pony car that launched affordable and compact sports
cars, today strongly hews to the look of the 1964 original. But Ford is
working on radical makeover of its signature youth-market car, people
familiar with Ford's plans said. The next generation would retain the
shark-nosed grille ...

Do you guys remember when it was thought the car that became the Probe would
be the "new" Mustang.....

I'm not liking that new style at the moment. It will probably grow on me.
Youth-market car, eh? Yep, I'm an old fart. /grin

If 400+ HP doesn't grow on you, then start looking for a nursing home.

(Even my wife's new Flex has 355 HP; I need a Mustang GT to keep up.}

It's the style that isn't doing anything for me.
